What comes to mind when you think of a holiday feast? Roasted, free-range turkey, honey glazed, spiral-sliced ham, and even a rack of lamb are the usual suspects, but if you've ever been privy to a holiday seafood feast - whether at an intimate Christmas Eve Dinner or an extravagant New Year's Eve Party, then you know just what a statement beautiful shellfish, sushi, and caviar will make!
Succulent colossal cocktail shrimp or wild-caught shrimp platters, the classiest of caviar, and melt-in-your-mouth fresh crab cakes are menu musts for the holiday season trendsetter.
Our Dungeness crab cakes are handmade with sustainable crab, seasoning, and just the right amount of breadcrumbs for a delicate and yet oh-so satisfying appetizer. Follow up the crab cakes with steamed Dungeness crab served with hot butter and lemon and a chilled wild-caught shrimp platter, complete with lemon and homemade cocktail sauce. All of our shrimp is wild-caught or highly regulated farm raised with a firm… Read More

Our Hawaiian-style poke is fresh, authentic, and oh, so flavorful. Prepared fresh multiple times every day, we take a lot of pride in our beloved poke. Because it's really, really good. And also because, the melt-in-your-mouth tuna and salmon are responsibly sourced. It's quality you can actually taste - many of our shoppers argue it's better than most poke they've had at poke restaurants too!
Featuring Aloha Poke, Spicy Tuna Poke, and Salmon poke, our self-service poke bar is complete with all the toppings to make it your own. With brown and white sticky sushi rice, seaweed salad, kimchee, mango, avocado, onion, jalapeno, green onion, and more* you can build the poke bowl of your dreams.
Take it home and make it pretty for a special lunch "treat" or grab just enough for a quick and healthy snack on-the-go. No matter how you eat it, we're quite certain, you're going to love every single bite of it.
Do you love our poke? How do you build your bowl? Read More

Every Fall, we celebrate culinary traditions from a few of our favorite counties. This week, we’re admiring Scotland - a country known for its amazing landscape but often forgotten about when it comes to its delicious food.
From tasty cheddar cheeses like Orkney Smokey Red Cheddar to delectable chutneys like MacKays caramelized red onion chutney to savory snacks like Mackie’s Potato crisps, we have a diverse selection of Scotland’s best…
We also have the famed and seafood lover praised Loch Etive Steelhead Trout imported directly from Scotland. You’ve never enjoyed trout quite like this before. It will make for one memorable fish dinner, we assure you.
Loch Etive (Loch means “lake” in Scottish, in case you were wondering) is in Northern Argyll on the west coast of Scotland. Loch Etive Steelhead Trout are raised in this very remote, pristine environment with pure waters and fast-flowing currents. High in Omega-3 oils, the sashimi-grade trout is suited for all… Read More

Yes, you've read correctly! We officially have our hands on the extremely limited, beautiful, and decadent, Copper River Salmon!
It's an Alaskan salmon that's so special, it's the gold standard for chefs, restaurateurs, and die-hard salmon connoisseurs. Harvested from the pure and pristine waters of Alaska's Copper River, this sustainable fish is pretty special. That's because every year, from May through September, Copper River King, Sockeye, and Coho salmon return to the river. They make the very difficult journey up the glacial fed waters to spawn in their birthplace.
As a result of this intense task, Copper River salmon are extremely rich in omega-3 fatty acids and also, in their melt-in-your-mouth texture that they're known for.
Coveted by anyone who has ever enjoyed it before, this salmon comes with a very, very short season and can also be very hard to find.
Right now, we have Copper River King available, also known as Chinook. It is most celebrated for its… Read More

Keep Checking Back for Updates on when Copper River Salmon is in stores....
We've long awaited this rare and prize-winning salmon and it's almost here! Copper River season officially began and we have already received our first allotment of the delicious, lean, ruby-red salmon with a subtle and mild flavor that you're sure to love.
So what's all the hype about? Copper River salmon is very scarce - especially the King variety. This year, the harvest for Copper River King salmon was about a quarter of last year's harvest. With so few caught, we're extremely proud to be a distributor of this rare and decadent fish.
The Copper River derives its name from the rich copper deposits found along the riverbank. It was first used by the Alaska native population, and later by settlers of the Russian Empire and the United States. This massive body of water has 13 major tributaries, is a mile wide and runs at 7 miles per hour. Dropping an average of 12 feet per mile and draining 24,000… Read More
